BEIJING (Reuters) - Foreign non-government organizations (NGOs) in China are bracing for a crackdown as the government prepares to pass a new law to regulate their activities, which critics fear could curb activism and drive out several groups.

It is unclear how strictly the government will enforce the rules, which a parliament spokeswoman said last week were necessary for national security reasons.
